Snoop Dogg: Family Man and Grandfather\n

In 2007, while promoting his reality series Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood, Snoop offered a glimpse into his family life, aiming to showcase a side of hip-hop artists often overlooked\u2014that of devoted fathers and family men.\n

Speaking to People, he shared, “I got kids, and I always play my music for them. I like to hear what they like. They think I’m old, but I think I’m young.”\n

Reflecting on his experience as a father, he added, “Ninety percent of rappers grew up without fathers, but you see ninety percent of those rappers becoming fathers to their kids. We don’t ever get commended for that. We become real men when we get to this level we’re at right now.”\n
